Double Feature:WINSTANLEY, 1975,
Milestone Films, 95 min. Dir. Kevin Brownlow. Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo
continue their effort to reshape the way movies look at history in this portrait of
Gerrard Winstanley and his nonviolent attempts to start a commune in 1649 Surrey. Once
again, Brownlow and Mollo strive for period authenticity on every level, and this,
combined with the silent film techniques they employ, give WINSTANLEY a quality that is
simultaneously realistic and otherworldly - it's like a science fiction film set in the
past instead of the future. [35mm]

IT HAPPENED HERE, 1965, Milestone Films, 93 min. In
this thought-provoking piece of speculative filmmaking, directors Kevin Brownlow and
Andrew Mollo imagine what England would have been like in 1944 if Germany had successfully
invaded and occupied the country at the beginning of WWII. Brownlow's obsessive attention
to detail (he worked on the film for years before bringing military scholar Mollo on) and
bold use of real-life fascists and Nazi sympathizers make this a riveting work - and one
that was not properly seen in its unedited form for decades. [35mm]Introduction by director and archivist Kevin Brownlow, who is receiving
an Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Governors Award.

Co-presented with the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles:Adrian and the Bizarre. This illustrated one-hour
lecture is a focused survey of costume and fashion designs by Gilbert Adrian, highlighting
his use of surreal imagery and the avant-garde. Examining the designer's source of
inspiration sheds light on the important role that modern art played in fashion design
during the first half of the 20th century and on how Adrian was able to
successfully imbue his designs with a timeless quality despite the restrictive deadlines
enforced by the film and fashion industries. Selections from some of his most celebrated
films-including The Women, Mata Hari, and The Philadelphia Story-will be highlighted as
will his most innovative prÍt-a-porter ensembles, illustrating Adrian's important
position in both art and fashion history. An analysis of Adrian's most unusual creations
will reveal a talent that transcended contemporary costume design, and elevated him to the
level of haute artiste. Aaron M. Rubin is an art historian whose studies focus on the
relationships between the fine arts and the decorative arts - specifically Dada,
Surrealism, and the early avant-garde. Since 2007 he has worked with Bonhams &
